Slide Mount with DAPI (Cat#032125)

Aqueous Antifade Mountant with DAPI Laboratory Use Only, Store at -20ºC to 25ºC Slide Mount TM with DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) is a water-based antifade mountant that can stably preserve fluorescence in paraformaldehyde (PFA)-fixed brain sections. The DAPI in the mountant is a blue-fluorescent nuclear and chromosome counterstain, and can be excited using a violet (405 nm) laser line. This mountant can be used as a nuclear counterstain in brain sections labeled with commonly used green, red, and far-red fluorophores. The mountant contains antifade reagents, protecting against fading or photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and fluorescent dyes. It has been proven to preserve fluorescence signaling on fixed brain sections and can be used in conjunction with GFP/YFP, tdTomato, fluorescein, rhodamine, Texas Red, Cy3, Alexa Fluor™, and fluorescent dye tracers, such as DiI and DiA. The mountant is supplied ready-to-use and can be stored at room temperature (RT), in a refrigerator
